You have carried this dream long enough.
We form your nonprofit with you, correctly. Then we stay beside you through the years that matter most.
Every application gets a personal reply within one business day.
A filing each year. A board that meets. A few grants. With an advisor beside you, it stays easy.
The fine print: under 26 U.S.C. § 6033(j), three consecutive missed annual filings end tax-exempt status automatically. General information; we are not a law firm. On a shared calendar, it never comes up.
The IRS saying yes is year zero. What you just saw on the timeline is the actual work: a return every year, a board that meets, and someone who still knows your name.
The exemption stays only if the annual filing actually goes out. Miss enough of them and the status ends on its own.
Names on a form are not a board. Minutes, a calendar, and people in the room are.
Filing shops are done when the stamp lands. The years on that timeline are why we stay.
Every option below gets you an entity. The difference is who is still with you in year three.
You are capable. But one unfamiliar checkbox can set the wrong foundation — and it surfaces years later, when a funder asks.
It writes a beautiful purpose statement. The IRS looks for specific language in specific documents.
Documents and a receipt. Then silence, right when the real questions start.
Built correctly the first day, with us in the room — and we stay, guiding what comes next. We know your name in year three.
The rails that keep a nonprofit on path — nothing rests on your memory.
Every block checked correctly, the first time.
A master calendar and a weekly rhythm.
Quarterly meetings, annual meeting, agendas, minutes.
A standard playbook for grant submissions.
A 250-item checklist to become fully compliant over time.
Weekly group calls with founders on the same path.
Your state filing fee and the IRS user fee are included in the flat $2,500.
A filing service hands you a receipt. We are still here in years one, two, and three.
Documents, a confirmation, silence. A filing service is done when the stamp lands. You have an entity. You do not have anyone who still knows your name in year two.
Formation is the start of the relationship. The calendar, the annual filing, the board that actually meets — that is the work that keeps the exemption. We stay for that part.

“Beacon 4sight Group has been instrumental in the launch of Chairs of Honor. Without their expertise and assistance, we'd still just be an idea. Through their personalized assistance and weekly encouragement, I've stayed on task and been able to achieve real success in just 90 days.”
“Professional, knowledgeable, and helpful — I can't imagine where we would be without Beacon 4sight Group. A+ all the way!”
“Beacon 4sight Group provided the guidance I needed to receive my nonprofit approval in less than 30 days! Professional and proficient, 5/5.”
A lawyer who files and disappears, versus a relationship that is still there in year three.
Included, in full:

A personal reply within one business day.
General information, not a promise you will pass any of it. These are the facts that sit after the filing.
We are not a law firm and do not provide legal, tax, or investment advice. Statutory references are provided for general information. Consult qualified counsel regarding your specific circumstances.
An honest answer saves us both time.
Your state filing fee and the IRS user fee are included in the flat $2,500.
Three minutes, so we arrive at the call already understanding your mission.
We do not sell or share your information. You'll hear from a person, not an automated pitch machine.
Everyone else sells you a filing. You get a person who knows your name and a room full of founders a year ahead of you.
A personal reply within one business day.
